France

For tourism without professional activity, France-Visas directs visa-required travellers to the short-stay route. The destination matters: metropolitan France and French overseas territories can have different visa arrangements. Use the official visa wizard with your nationality, residence, destination and purpose for the applicable checklist. Financial evidence must cover the visit and return journey. This record has not yet completed the Kenyan ordinary-passport eligibility and exemption check.

France-Visas describes a short-stay business route for partner meetings, trade fairs, seminars and conferences. Evidence should connect your professional activity to the visit, such as an invitation describing its purpose, duration and location, an event admission card or the host's undertaking to cover costs. Use the wizard for the documents appropriate to your personal situation. Employment and longer stays require separate guidance.

The official Kenya page confirms the application arrangements for residents of Kenya. It does not, on its own, establish nationality-specific eligibility or every exemption. The Kenyan ordinary-passport eligibility check remains open in this record; use the France-Visas wizard or seek the embassy's advice before relying on any exemption.

Kenya-resident applications are received by appointment through TLScontact, using the link on the official France-Visas Kenya page. Complete the France-Visas application first and bring the final form, receipt and checklist documents. The French Embassy makes the decision. Its Kenya page advises applicants to prepare their own files and avoid unofficial appointment sellers; Sunward cannot promise appointment access or approval.
